Still time to experience Night in the Garden

As darkness falls, see the Botanic Gardens in a magical new light

Botanix lightsNight in the Garden is an after dark, outdoor event which combines incredible light installations with the spectacular beauty of nature, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors.

The lighting for the event has been designed by talented Scottish light artist Malcolm Innes and his colleague Euan Winton. The artists’ vision takes visitors on a magical a one kilometre route full of light and shadow and experience, with interactive stations and a few unexpected surprises along the way.

Some of the Garden’s best loved features, such as the famous Victorian Glasshouses and Pond, have been used backdrops for incredible light effects along the outdoor trail. Visitors can watch ‘the sun’ set inside the Palm House, see a host of sparkling lights suspended over water and enjoy enchanting illuminations that bring the indoors outside. They will also have the opportunity to create their own light show by manipulating some of the installations themselves.

Night in the Garden is an awe-inspiring experience for the whole family. Whether you have been to the Garden before or are a first-time visitor you will not want to miss this magical event!
